Yreo Trade work.

F3r some Time past President Oleve-
land. S,sretwy Of the Treasury Fair
child and ex-Speaker Carlisle, three
smiuens FREQ traders, have been closeted
togesber % formulate some plan to be
en- bodied Ia the Presidenrs message
By wnieh the revenues may Be reduced
and The surplus In the treasury dimin.
ishei. This 10 . big under ersAking and
viii most Assuredly entail trouble upon
aAe parry these gentlemen represent.
since che late Kentucky election II
would bs natural 70 suppose that even
these three leaders OF the Democratic
party would fnd some diff guilty In
recon otling matters In the direction OF
revenue redussion. The horrible tariff
and revenue reduction were made very
,psomiuent during the Kentucky cam
paigu and In the face Of 1t . reduction
Sf Ksntucky's big Democratic majority
Of 64, 600 down to beggariy 1900, It
would be supposed would have about
The Same efsot upon this illustrious
Trio OF free traders, thst cold water
would havo when poured down the
apinai column OF sick patient. The
fast too, that Mr.. Carlisls's seat In
Cougress 10 contested BY m active op-
ponen, that intends to push the con-
tsss must divide bis mind ct least be-
tween the subject Of revenue reduction
and keeping his seat In Congress. But
although Mr.. Carlisle did not succeed
very we'll In making free trade popular
iA h, own State, sill he has mot lost
hope, He tells as that next year the
elecNou will show Y that "those who are
sadeavoring TO eK ,its opposition to the
.dsclsrsd principles Of The party are en-
gagged in hopeless task. In she mean
'Mns Me-. Carlisle 10 10 take part In the
campaign in Oaio to popularize, q 1,
ts called, the declared prinol pies Of his
party. In other words he 10 going Into
Ohio TO try and persuade the vo .ers OIL
thAs Sfase that they ought to assist ID
che work Of destroying American In
&ustrles In the interest OF British manu-
fAoturers.
1t will hardly enthuse the minds o
the working people to know that th,
free trade, British, London Time
praises Mr.. Carlisle for going to the as
sistance OF the Ohio free traders. L
selis Us that "it Is q good sign for tn
national character OF the canvass Il
Ohio thAt Speaker Carlisle Is to take Il
IL on tho Democratic side. He inform
Us that he will confine himself to tn
issues presented by the platform OF hl
party, OF which that OF revenue reforr

zeal tssus 70 which We would be gls
% see him give some attention an
that is, whas will the Democratic m,
jority do about the tariff In the ne1
Hous,? We know what he thinks |
oaght TO do, and We agree with him.
The British free-trade organs OF EaI
Hand AID the Dsmocrauc revenue e
form organs Of this country slpg1larl
agree al TO the best policy OF the Dem,
cratic parN. The Times knows thl
Nr. Carlisle is . thorough. going fre
trailer. and for that reason be is gre,
favorlss with It, and Is hopes thi
through his influence the pro- Britis
policy Of free trade will be greatly aide
In the next session Of Congress.
II must be con tessed that this hor
OF the eminent free trader is we
founded. In all probability II he do
not loes his seat, which Is hardly likel,
he will Be the Speaker OF the ne,
HOUSE. In that position, aided ar
ahetsed as he will be by = free ira,
adninlstraaon, he can do mu,
In the way Of helping on the frs

aAsue IN the next campaign. WI

dose OF free trade to get taste OF T

to think about. Bat, II the prot
